Sanki Piezo-Electric drives use specially developed piezo elements to create very fine vibration. The vibration from the elements is amplified by carbon fiber springs, and the complete assembly of spring and element is mounted at the optimum angle to provide high feed speed with minimal vibration amplitude. This technology offers the following advantages:
- small and/or sensitive parts can be fed consistently and with minimal damage
- parts can be oriented based on very small features
- minimal magnetic field allows feeding of magnetically sensitive parts without resorting to false-bottom bowls
- low particulate emissions from system allows use in Class 10 clean rooms without auxiliary enclosure
- Drives available in standard and low profile types, from 3" to 18" bowl diameter
- Drives run very quietly, typically eliminating the need for bulky and expensive sound enclosures
- Piezo elements are ideal for powering fully linear feed systems
